Road Crank
|
100% Pure Crank now available from Paul. Our Road Cranks take advantage of the narrower chainstays found on road frames, and the narrow chain line of our High Flange hubs. These cranks use an interlocking chain ring/crank interface secured by four stainless steel chain ring bolts. At this time our chain rings are not sold seperately. We machine the crank arms from 2024 aluminum, a very strong and stiff material. Then they are given a high polish finish and half of them get anodized. We currently make two crank arm lengths: 165mm and 170mm. The chain rings are machined out of 6.3mm thick aluminum plate; very sturdy. They are currently designed only to work with ⅛" chains (track and bmx), and are unpolished. Chain rings come in two patterns, determined by their size. 46 and 48 tooth rings have our "Royal Flush" suit of cards design while smaller rings get a "four circles" treatment. Now for the important part. There are two square taper designs in use today, JIS (Shimano, and pretty much everyone else except Campagnolo), and ISO which is used by Campagnolo. We designed our cranks around Campagnolo 111mm width spindles, so that's what you should use. They make a really affordable one called the ACH, and they make some really nice expensive ones too. We also strongly recommend the Phil Wood 110.5 Campy taper bottom backet which lets you fine tune the chain line. Check out this online review of the Road Crank by Fixed Gear Gallery. Tech Info:
